What an adorable little coffee shop Sleep Bear is…read more Star 1: How were the service and atmosphere? Coffee Shop Sleepy Bear is a one woman show, but she does an amazing job in what is a genuinely excellent cozy atmosphere tucked away in a good location. Service is quick even when traffic starts moving. Star. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? 6,00 CHF for a cappuccino is maybe surprisingly reasonable for Lausanne, and every other menu item was equally reasonable on the price scale. Star. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? This was a good cappuccino, and while I would have loved for there to be a little bear design in the mix it went nicely with the homemade granola bar that I paired it with. Single Star. Star 5: Would you be excited to go back? Absolutely. Star.

I loved this place. It felt very modern and totally the style that you would expect from a place in…read moreSan Francisco or Venice, CA. The place was bright from the windows throughout and the place was simplistic with touches of metal. The shop had tables and "desks" for people to get some work done or mingle with some friends. The coffee drinks were pretty upscale feeling and it felt that the barista put a lot of attention into making the drinks. I opted for just an Americano while my buddy had the Latte Macchiato. We were both very impressed with our drinks. I am usually not an Americano fan but I felt the coffee was flavorful and I would order another glass in a minute. The place feels less European and more American as it felt very modern but it still had it's Swiss/French touches. Completely recommend this place for a coffee break or to start your morning with some coffee and a pastry.

Food 5/5: I'm picky in terms of desserts to eat but I have to admit the owners did an amazing job at creating the perfect Cupcake, not too sugary but so tasty! I actually think they're even better than in some places in the US! You also have a Granola Yogurt for Breakfast with your Latté that you can take it "To-Go" American style! Service 5/5: The owners are really nice people and help U find the right cupcake that will enlighten your day! If you're in Lausanne, this is a MUST-go place! Yes I insist! ;-)

A friendly small craft coffee shop. While they don't really roast their own coffee (at least as far…read moreas I know), they source and sample small-batch producers from around the world and really know how to make a coffee. While I have only tried their base espresso (Brazilian roast) and was very positively surprised by the quality, I am looking forward to performing more in-depth sampling. The barista is friendly and knows his thing and they have a selection of different preparation methods for you to choose from. The only downside is that this place has enough space to sit at most 8 people and only if they know each other very well. Two at the bar and six at a single table. Overall, it's a great little spot I was glad to discover and I am looking forward to coming back there and tasting more of this place's coffee selection.

I've sat outside on the terrace and also inside for afternoon tea, and each time has been an enjoyable way to spend time with friends. The tea service is a great experience: your choice out of a large selection of teas or coffee, tasty finger sandwiches and scones, and a dessert buffet with so many choices, you'll have a difficult time deciding. And everything was delicious! As you would expect with this location, prices are high, but you're definitely getting a fantastic ambiance and excellent service. This is one of my favorite places to relax and chat with friends.

Atmosphere 4/5: Nothing fancy or too weird. The restaurant is well located and close to the main Bus station "Saint Francois". The place itself looks like a modern ish Cafe Restaurant. Food 5/5: I was delighted both times. First time, I had a Salmon with Mashed Potatoes and I had the second time, a Hashi Parmentier which was EXCELLENT. It's one of their specialty there and it comes with a Salad for 18 CHF. Service 5/5: The staff is friendly and professional. They make sure to accomadate you to the best they can get you. The service is quiet fast if you're short on time. Last but not least, make sure to reserve your tables during Summer time on the Terrace ahead of time because they tend to be most of the time full by the time you get there even at 11am.

I would love to give this all five stars but the service was pretty poor the last time I was there…read morethat I bumped it down. The food is great and if you get good service, the experience is worth it. However, you should expect to wait a while to have anyone come acknowledge you and plan to wave the waiter/waitress down a lot. I've been here for brunch on a Sunday and the food was pretty good. I went again for dinner and it was tapas style. It is a great way to taste a lot of good foods. The tartar was just ok, but the later night menu items were really good. Plan to make a reservation early enough if you can, otherwise tables are nearly impossible to get. So overall - good food and probably worth trying to get to in Lausanne...but prepare correctly!
